What we love about this place is that the property faces south-west, so we enjoy beautiful sunsets with water & mountain views. The sandy beach and grassy area has a picnic table & 2 hammocks. If you are feeling more adventurous, you can go canoeing, swimming, hiking or just beach-comb. The huge deck has a hot tub, dining area & BBQ. Inside, the house has an open floor plan and is fully renovated with all new appliances.
Views of mountains and mature trees right from bed.

Right across the tidal bay is a bird sanctuary. Depending on the time of year, there could be Bald Eagles eating spawning salmon or local Great Blue Herons fishing or a variety of ducks. Never a dull moment with all the wildlife to watch.

Fanny Bay is the Oyster capital of B.C.
Our area is host to a large colony of California Sea Lions and Harbour Seals. If you are lucky, you may see Humpback Whales or Orcas passing through.
There are many walking trails nearby including the famous "Wacky Woods". A must see for anyone in the area.

Kris and Sean are very welcoming. The house is beautiful and has great lighting. It's the perfect spot for a quiet get away. Located in front of a bird sanctuary one could simply spend all day reading and gazing outside. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay at Sunny Shores so much. This place is what paradise must look like. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Kris and Sean were such kind hosts and made us feel so welcome. Unforgettable.

We had a wonderful experience at this gorgeous home in Fanny Bay. The home is situated right on the bay with a beautiful view and easy access to the water. The furnishings were charming and comfortable. Great experience!!

The beach, wildlife sanctuary and walking trails are only a few hundred meters away. Wildlife abounds including an extensive array of birds, eagles and sea lions. This is an ideal location for hiking, kayaking and swimming or peace and quiet.

This architecturally designed home and property is located on Ships Point in Fanny Bay, a quiet cottage country setting with views overlooking the mountains, ocean and wildlife sanctuary.
This comfortable and well equipped house is filled with light and beautiful vistas. Amazing sunsets!
Perfect any time of year, it is 40 minutes from beautiful Mount Washington with alpine and cross country skiing, snow shoeing and trekking. The ferry to Denman and Hornby Islands is a five minute drive or short bike ride. This is oyster farm country and the Fanny Bay Inn, a twenty minute walk, serves them up with style!

Ships Point is peaceful, beautiful and friendly come rain, sun or snow! Nature is at your door step.

Lesley's house On Vancouver Island is in a quite location with few houses almost at the end of the street. It takes just a few minutes to walk to the beach. The beach has rocks to sit on and the hights of the sea depends to the tide. It was very relaxing there because we were almost alone. The house is fully equiped, comfortable and clean. It has a nice terrace on the upper floor. The neighbours are all very nice! We liked it a lot and would have stayed longer if possible.

We were made very welcome by Allan who provided us with access. The neigbourhood was quiet and people very friendly. The house is bright, airy and well equipped. The yard was very private and we enjoyed the fresh apples from the tree! We found it was very much as we had expected based on the description. We had an an enjoyable stay at Fanny Bay. Thank you for the use of your home.

There are may ways to get to Denman Island, all starting with arriving on Vancouver Island, BC. Vancouver Island can be reached by driving and taking a ferry from Vancouver, BC or by flying into one of the 3 main airports on Vancouver Island. The closest airport is the Comox Valley Airport which is a 30 min drive from the ferry to Denman Island. Public transport exists but is limited so renting a car might be in order. Please talk to your host about the best way for you to get here.

Had a great stay with Tracy & Shayne. Tracy met us when we arrived. Modern home but in farmhouse style. Guest accommodation on first floor. Good bed & shower. Sitting room with open stairway to ground floor so some sounds from kitchen & if you want total privacy then might find it a bit "open plan". Invited to a party on the island first eve so met the locals so very "airbnb". Wouldn't get that in a hotel room. Overall enjoyed being part of the family. Great location. Good breakfasts & dinner with fresh products from farm.

Great food, great sleep, super close to the Denman Island ferry, fine local bistro and bookshop! Can’t say I’d ever walked with turkeys before but I sure got to at the Ruby Slipper Ranch! Tracy was a gracious host as she gave me the farm tour. This slice of heaven, nestled on a 32 acre farm, allowed me to visit the chickens, 2 pigs and 3 little piglets, 3 cows, turkeys, geese, and a garden of abundance. Tracy showed me the tremendous variety of lettuces, herbs, edible flowers, fruits and vegetables grown with loving care and according to sustainable permaculture methods. I totally recommend paying for meals with your stay – nothing fresher than tasting things as you pull them right from the garden! And, for breakfast I enjoyed the homemade scones, farm-fresh bacon, a fresh-laid hen egg and turkey egg, fresh baked bread with farmer-traded sheep’s milk cheese and farm-made raspberry jam and local honey. Coffee aficionados will appreciate the excellent quality coffee beans, freshly ground. The house is also an inspiration for those with a keen eye to sustainable building materials and concepts. Check out the hand-made carpentry by farmer-Shayne and the very interesting cold-storage hideaway! Try your hand at pickling greens – I’m glad I did – not such a mystery now! The upstairs guest room is very spacious with a bedroom and sitting room: it’s a bit zany but fun to check out the unique records design concept. Over the course of my 2-week BC islands tour, sleeping in different beds most nights, I can honestly say this bed was really the most comfortable – so something to look forward to. The private bathroom has a shower with plenty of hot water – and check out their innovative water-heater system why don’t you! The location is excellent: a super short drive from the Denman Island ferry terminal (you could even walk it if necessary) and it was also a nice pad to stay at during my day-trip (10 minute ferry) to Hornby Island. Great people, great location, and great price.

Cindy2015-05-15T00:00:00Z

Very, quiet, peaceful. Spacious, bright, private, and comfortable bedroom, bathroom, and living area on the upper floor of the owners' interesting farmhouse. A wonderful place to stay when visiting Denman and Hornby Islands (as long as you like animals).

William2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

Tracey and Shayne welcomed us into their home like old friends, and our stay was delightful. Feargus the bull was busy mowing the lawn when we arrived (delicious grass!) and just loved to have head scratches. Our space was huge. The entire loft with a sitting room, bathroom, bedroom and office area. There is even a skylight with couch perfectly placed for stargazing! They are super close to the ferry, so finding them was easy, and we spent most of the weekend cycling around the island and exploring the beach. Make sure you make time for the farm tour! That was a highlight of our weekend. Oh, and you must join them for as many meals as you can!!! Tracy is not exaggerating when she says she loves to cook and it's all local from their farm. It was my first time eating duck and turkey eggs for breakfast! Also, we stocked up on ethically raised, grass fed meat before heading home. Also a benefit of staying on the ranch. Thanks everyone for a wonderful visit!

Lani2017-04-17T00:00:00Z

Tracy and Shane's property is a wonderful and peaceful world. The house/ farm is reflecting the hosts' character: connected to nature, creative and welcoming. We had an amazing time with our 2 year old who loved the great access to the yard and the animals. We would come back anytime. I highly recommend to try their dinner and breakfast, all made with the farm products, it was delicious. Where else can you have ducks feeding in your hands or cows asking for a gentle head massage?

simon2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

We loved our experience on the farm with Tracy. This is what AirBnB should be all about: connecting with individuals for unique experiences. When we missed our ferry, she was flexible and moved dinner. The food was phenomenal, the company was great, and we appreciated tips about how to explore Denman and Hornby like locals.

Magical, Peaceful and Serene. Our family of four greatly enjoyed our stay last weekend. (this was my second stay at Ravenstone as I was there for a ladies weekend in June) The endless exploring and beach combing (the kids loved finding beach glass), yoga on the patio and cooking local food (the kitchen is extremely well stocked for any of your culinary needs). The linens and beds were beautiful and robes and the local Denman Island soap were a lovely touch. We loved having access to binoculars to check out what was happening in the straight. Travelling with children we found the property extremely safe for the girls to wonder and explore, I loved that I could wash their feet off at the bottom of the stairs prior to sending them back into the house. When I was told about the pay for what you use pantry, I thought I won't need that, but it came to the rescue for us and we were very grateful. We found that the property and home provided us everything we needed and we didn't need to take time away from the property to explore the island. We are already planning our next trip back! Thank you Roger and Sandra for the clear communication and welcoming us into your lovely home.

Lori2017-08-15T00:00:00Z

Amazing place! Well equipped, plenty of room for 8 people. Very private, awesome beach right out front of the house. Thanks so much Sandra - we will definitely be back!

Jeff2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

Ravenstone is a magical place. A place to unwind and watch the tide rise and fall. The feeling of peace is everywhere on the property and in the house. Take a long walk down the beach and discover so many beautiful wonders in the tide pools and under rocks... It goes on and on. We loved playing in the yard, bacci and badminton were a big hit with the kids. We love the house, the beds are positively dreamy. Every detail in the house is beautiful. Sandra and Roger were easy to reach and wonderful hosts! There is so much to discover on Denman and Hornby. This is a great spot to call home base. ps. Graham Lake is the best place to cannon ball!

Monica2017-08-31T00:00:00Z

We loved our stay at Ravenstone! Every detail of the home is so impressive. The layout and furniture is both functional and stunningly beautiful. All the beautiful serving dishes made dinners a joy. The pay what you use full pantry was a surprise and very useful for odd items we forgot or needed. You can see and feel the love put into this place. It feels like home right away. All the beds are very comfortable and the bedding plentiful and perfect. The appliances are all new and work very well. We were stunned by the beauty of this home. The beach area is very interesting with Oyster and Clam fisheries going on daily at low tide. We found it endlessly entertaining to watch the boats coming and going. At high tide it is perfect for a swim. The beach offers a great walk discovering bones and amazing stones everywhere. The feeling of calm is everywhere at Ravenstone. Sitting on the front porch dining or lounging, or down on the beach front red chairs is perfectly relaxing and peaceful. We highly recommend this airbnb to anyone and everyone. The home and property are very family friendly and modern with wireless stereo and very good wifi connection. We can't wait to go back!!

We had a very enjoyable stay at Taina's! She has a sweet home and lives on a lovely piece of property. Taina's place is clean, well decorated and very comfortable. Our dog and young daughter thoroughly enjoyed the space and company of her canine and human family! Taina and her family went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We hope to visit again!!

Geneen2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

It's as advertised, secluded and tranquil, with lots of fun on the trampoline.

Brad2017-08-25T00:00:00Z

I came for the weekend with my parents and 2 senior dogs. Its in a secluded area on the south end of the island, so great for a quiet get away, but still easy access to one of the main roads for getting around. A real pleasure to fall asleep to a chorus of frogs every night from the near by marsh. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks Taina!

Isabelle2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

套房是完美的。我絕對建議年輕的家庭,因為泰納非常親切,她的家是直接的夢想。

Thomas2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

The cabin came into the family in 1974 & has provided great memories for family & friends through the years. The cabin is located just above Cable Beach, which means that you are a short stroll to the beach for walks & collecting oysters and clams.

The little red cabin on the corner of East Road & Denman Road came into the family in 1974. The original portion of the cabin is dated back to the early 1900’s with multiple additions over the years. It started as a small one-bedroom house and was expanded as the family grew. The cabin has provided many great memories for family and friends through the years and is now available for short-term rentals. There are three bedrooms downstairs plus an attic space with 5 beds. There is one bathroom in the house with a shower/bath, toilet and sink and there is also a fully functioning outhouse on the property and an additional shower located outside (toward the end of the porch). There is a complete kitchen with a separate dining area. In the living room the unique stone fireplace resides. The cabin is heated by a combination of the wood-burning fireplace in the living room and an oil stove in the kitchen/dining area. The cabin is located just above Cable Beach, which means that you are a short stroll to the beach for walks and collecting oysters & clams. The little red cabin is available for short term stays and can be rented on a nightly and weekly basis.

The Little Red Cabin is within walking distance to the beach, where you can access oysters and clams. You may also walk along the beach to Fillongley Park, with a beautiful meadow and walking trails. The cabin has a large deck facing towards the ocean which is great for relaxing in the morning, afternoon and evening. Feel free to use the backyard for fun and games with the children and/or the evening BBQ. The nearest lake is Graham Lake and is located a 5 minute drive from the cabin. There is a General Store in Downtown Denman, which is a 10 minute drive from the cabin. There is also a bookstore, hardware store, cafe and community hall located in the centre of town. Biking to and from the cabin is also an enjoyable way to see the island, with paved roads that circumnavigate the island. In the event you should be interested, the Hornby Island Ferry Terminal is 10 minutes away from the cabin and provides additional access to beaches, walks and exploring. Beyond the turn-off to the Hornby Ferry is Boyle Point Provincial Park, which is a wonderful walk along the coastline. Further information on the community is (EMAIL HIDDEN)

Great place! Love Denman Island and the cabin was the perfect place to enjoy the weekend. We especially loved the wood stove and cozy living room.

Basia and Irek's farm guesthouse was the perfect base for our family vacation to Denman Island. We could not have been happier with the spacious house and well stocked kitchen (all the cooking supplies we required!). Their farm is quiet and peaceful, we were able to explore the rest of Denman and Hornby easily by car. Basia and Irek were very welcoming and checked in on us once a day to make sure we had everything we needed.

Hanna2016-03-24T00:00:00Z

We absolutely loved our stay at Basia and Irek's guest house. Their property is lovely and the guest house was exactly what we needed. Basia and Irek greeted us with freshly home-baked bread and vegetables from their garden. They were also a pleasure to talk to and learn more about the island and their farm. The sheep were just adorable and I'm gonna miss their dogs. Most of the time while around the house we spent it on the beautiful and sunny deck. The kitchen had everything we needed and there is a great bbq there as well. The place is spaceous and the beds were comfortable. The house was also spotless! I can't say there was anything else we could have asked for. We are so happy to have come here and hope to be back.

Ana2016-09-14T00:00:00Z

Basia and Irek, the warm and friendly hosts, offer a lovely homestead stay, the friendly dogs, the roaming sheep, the tribe of chickens, the unexpected gifts of home baked bread, the garden treasures of delicious salads, the kindness and respect of space as well as being available to us was a perfect balance. The land is beautiful, we enjoyed many hikes and walks through the forest and to the waterside, swimming in the nearby lake, trips to the general store and bookstore and other surrounding area delights. We highly recommend it if you are looking for peace and quiet, to disconnect and reconnect with the rhythms of nature.

Aladino2017-07-19T00:00:00Z

This is a piece of heaven. My children relished the farm. We fed the animals, my daughter ran free, we foraged in the garden. The island is exquisite and very quiet. Oysters are abundant and the ocean gorgeous to swim in. The house itself is large, newly built and perfectly clean. It really is a place to come to and return to again.

sarah jade2016-08-31T00:00:00Z

Wonderful hosts! Can't wait to visit again

Kathryn2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

We couldn't of asked for better hosts. Irek & Basia made us feel at home from the moment we arrived and right to the very end of our stay. On my arrival Basia gave me a quick driving tour to show us where the local beaches were, hiking trails, art studios etc. She then brought us all to the local free store and farmers market. Irek showed the kids their farm animals and even showed my oldest nephew how to drive his tractor. It was truly a magical stay. The tradition is to ring a bell they have hanging outside if you wish to come back, All six of us rang the bell!!

Derryl2016-05-16T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderfully relaxing time at Basia and Irek's idyllic farmhouse. The accommodation was ideal for our family of six and we could not have been more comfortable. The cottage was extremely well-equipped and the surroundings perfect. We just wish we could have stayed longer!

Mandy2016-08-02T00:00:00Z

Far exceeded our expectations! Spotlessly clean and all new kitchen appliances. Guesthouse was very spacious and comfortable. Basia and Irek were amazing hosts who anticipated our every need. We enjoyed the farm setting and the bountiful produce. Denman Island offers great walks in the forest and on the beach. Meeting the friendly and diverse local people was truly a highlight of our visit.

Beachfront retreat facing historic Deep Bay BC on the protected east coast of Vancouver Island. A natural and laid back spot that offers water sports, hiking, golfing and more. Well finished home inside and out with nice amenities and great views.

Our Beach House is truly unique. It sits on a large waterfront lot overlooking Deep Bay where you can watch the sport and commercial boats come and go all day long. Or you can enjoy swimming (cool but refreshing in the summer), paddle boarding (provided), rowing (two man rowboat provided), oyster picking (right out front!), and beachcombing. The large property/lawn area also provides lots of room for badminton, croquet, bocce etc. The outdoor decks on both sides of the house offer great views and social area to enjoy the mild west coast climate. Meanwhile, the inside of the home is very tastefully decorated. It feels like the kind of place where you can just chill out. The entire upper floor is an open concept floorplan (plus the master bedroom) including a fun kitchen, dining table for 8 and a card/puzzle table off to one side. There is a comfortable living space with couch, love seat and leather chair for visiting. The entire main room is all glass to the water side with views you won't be able to take your eyes off! All the finishes are quality and comfortable so whether inside or out, you will feel at home.

The Deep Bay Spit is a sand finger that sticks out into Bayne Channel (a subset of the Salish Sea between Vancouver Island and mainland BC). It is wide enough for a road to run down the middle with private lots on each side of the road. Half the homes face the outside towards the Salish Sea and the other half face the natural harbour created by the sand spit. We are facing the inside which we like. Better access to the water/beach and protected. Also, at the end of the spit is a small public beach that is quite marvelous for young and old alike. It's about 100 yards from our house.

Our two families were looking for a place to stay for the weekend while incorporating a bit of skiing at Mt. Washington. Art's place was a gorgeous, scenic oasis with more character than than the photos even show. Views were spectacular in the morning as the sun came up and the beach walks all around the spit were an added bonus. It was a place we all want to come back to and truthfully didn't want to leave. The beds were very comfortable and the place was very clean and had everything you might need. The kids (4 tween boys) were very happy. Couldn't be better. What a treat!

Kelly2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Deep bay was out of this world. Everything about this house, its location and its amenities are brilliant. I would recommend this property to anyone.

My family and I stayed in Art's home for 3 nights. We were a group of 6 (4 adults and 2 kids), and the space was absolutely perfect for us. The house is in a beautiful location overlooking Deep Bay and the marina. The neighborhood is tidy and peaceful. We found the house to be much nicer than we expected; the photos don't do the place justice! It was very clean and had everything you could possibly need, from kitchen supplies and linens to interesting books and games. We even used the kayak (and lifejackets!) to paddle around the bay, and for younger kids, there were beach toys etc. available. The kids loved the foosball and huge t.v. The couches and beds were comfy and the showers worked great. There are some beautiful places to walk nearby, especially when the tide is out. With snow-capped mountains in the background, the views are gorgeous! Art was really good about communicating, and made sure we knew how to get there and let ourselves in etc. We didn't actually meet Art and his wife, but were aware of how to contact them at any time, if need be. We would absolutely stay here again (but for longer next time!), and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Jennifer2016-03-30T00:00:00Z

Art was an amazing host! He was generous with his time and helpful. He's gracious and clearly wanted our family to enjoy our trip as if we were a part of his family. We really wanted to leave our own note in the bottle to tell him how much we enjoyed the stay.

Kelli2016-03-16T00:00:00Z

We had such a wonderful time! The house is so lovely, fully equipped (even with paddle and kayak (for the kids) and within such a peaceful and beautiful environment. The only regret we have is that we only stayed there 2 nights. It is definitely staying there longer!!

Nancy2016-08-24T00:00:00Z

There are four bedrooms, two with king size beds, one with a single bed and laundry facilities, and a fourth bedroom with outside access.

The location is perfect - the view of the ocean, the boats going by, lots of seals playing in the water, the sunset, stars at night - spectacular. The house is very well equipped. The kitchen was fully supplied with all the dishes, cooking and serving utensils we needed. There were ample supplies of paper towel, toilet paper, etc. plus fresh linens, cozy blankets, extra pillows and lots and lots of towels. A cupboard full of games, books and puzzles was a very welcome discovery. We would most certainly come back for a return visit. :)

The birds, bees, butterflies, deer, eagles, and wildflowers. Nature at it's gentlest best. No poisonous, or carnivorous wildlife. Safe. NOTE: The house is built on a ridge, and there is a pond, small children need to be watched. Advanced seniors may find the path to the beach difficult.

The cabin was lovely and as depicted in photos. There was everything you could possibly need in the way of kitchen and laundry equipment. Check in time is firm so don't make our mistake of arriving on the island too early with the idea of a possible early check in!! Overall a wonderful space in a truly special location.

This property and cabin was absolutely perfect for our family of five. We were sad to leave and want to go back soon. It was peaceful but with lots of stuff for our elementary school aged kids to do. From the cabin we rode our bikes on into town and took them across to Hornby to ride there for the day. It was a perfect four days using Karen's clean, spacious cabin as our home base.

Fantastic location with private beach access, ideal for launching a canoe which the host has kindly supplied. Very quiet and private to make you feel that you have escaped the unsavoury aspects of city life but with enough amenities of a comfortable home away from home. Host and Hostess tries to make your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Janet2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

Amazing spot for rest and relaxation! The house is very well equipped and in a wonderfully peaceful location. We enjoyed seeing friendly deer everyday and biking around the neighbourhood to the general store.

Emily2017-07-20T00:00:00Z

The hosts were wonderful and very informative. The place was perfect for 6 of us, tons of room. The property is amazing very secluded and beautiful. The beach was further away then I thought and a bit tricky of a walk for small kids but doable (we made due with piggy backs)

ERIN 2015-08-13T00:00:00Z

This was a great place to stay while we explored the island. The many rooms made it perfect for a family with kids. The kitchen had everything we needed and was spacious and clean. The covered deck with the ocean view was really enjoyable for sitting out for a meal or a glass of wine. We also really liked the wood stove which was cozy in the evenings. The grounds are beautifully well kept. We'd definitely recommend this as a place to stay on Denman Island.

Hornby Island is an island paradise, best know for its beautiful beaches, the boundless recreation opportunities and the old artistic and carefree hippie culture that still pervades the island.
Our waterfront home captures much of this essence!

Beautifully set waterfront home surrounded by lush gardens and with beach access.

The west side of Hornby Island is characterized by the exceptional westerly views and the long evenings with beautiful sunsets. There are many artists in the neighborhood including the exceptional artist couple Vaughn Neville and Susan Cain ((URL HIDDEN) & (URL HIDDEN) as well as Jeffrey Rubinoff whose sculptures are displayed in one of Canada's largest sculpture parks ((URL HIDDEN)
The neighbourhood also boasts Hornby's famous Thatch Pub, access to a number of hiking trails, secluded beaches and a number of other hidden "gems" that will need to be discovered.

We had the pleasure of staying here for a wedding at Sea Breeze lodge couldn't be happier with our choice. The open air shower was a hit with all the guests and ample bathroom space made it easy for 4 people to get wedding ready. Wonderfully decorated taking on a Scandinavian cabin feel and lovely artwork and furniture pieces throughout the home. Easy to see this is lived in home, which added a sense of warmth for the guests. The Kema sign was a great touch and made finding it from the road very simple. Highly recommend for your next stay.

Daniel2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

Great place to stay on Hornby!

Karin2017-06-10T00:00:00Z

We just spent a very enjoyable week at Kema house, our first experience using airbnb. The house was beautiful, very comfortable, clean and well kept. Martin, our host, was warm, generous and friendly and answered any questions we had beforehand so that we felt welcome on arrival and easily found everything we needed to settle in and enjoy our vacation on Hornby Island.

A lovely, bright, simple home on 2 acres. This is a perfect place for anyone, an easy and well equipped place to spend your quality time. There is a big living room, but an even bigger deck and a beautiful yard. There are skylights in each room, which lets you stargaze from the comfort of your bed. (Hornby has amazing stargazing)

The house is located on a quiet country road, tucked in beside the mountain and only a 5 minute walk to the water. The local pub is also a 5 minute walk, and if you are a biking or hiking enthusiast, the renowned Mount Geoffrey trails are out the front door. There is lots of clear green space to enjoy the forest, and listen to the birds. We have a hide a bed and two kiddie cots available if needed.

A peaceful private neighbourhood.

Spacious and bright cottage, located close to the ferry terminal. Skylights in every room make a big difference. We loved the mountain biking trails at the end of the Mount road, and also Hornby Island in general.

Voicu2016-08-03T00:00:00Z

Great peaceful little house.

Amanda2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

It looks just like the pictures. The property is as lovely as the owner. Hornby is a beautiful island and I'd love to go back sometime.

Kristen2016-06-21T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay at Char's home. It provided a perfect base for mountain biking (middle bench trail at the top of the road) and everything else was a quick drive away. The area is very quiet and peaceful - we really enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to the birds. Well equipped kitchen and BBQ made it easy to prepare dinners at home.

Laura2016-06-28T00:00:00Z

House was lovely. As expected. Fully stocked in kitchen. Water was a little off putting I would bring my own next time. Everything else was great. Thanks!

Katie 2016-07-04T00:00:00Z

Very quiet and secluded, close to the ferry, clean and well equipped. Exactly as advertised with no surprises.

Robin2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Chars place was spacious and comfy with everything you could need and in a great location. Very close to the start of the climb for the mountain bike trails and 2 minute walk from the pub!

Tom2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

This place was perfect and provided a great hub for my fiancé and or families for our wedding!! Great yard and the unit had a great open floor plan. A nice deck as well.

My place is close to the beach and public transport. You’ll love my place because of The small town setting close to all amenities of the Comox Valley.. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travellers, and furry friends (pets).

Union Bay is small ocean side town. There local attractions as well as a short drive to access amenities of Courtenay and Comox or hop over to Denman and Hornby Islands.
The house is located on a "no thru" road with only two other neighbors.

Warm and welcoming. Beautiful home great view . The best dog . Would come again in a heartbeat

Kelcie2016-08-15T00:00:00Z

So I booked this place for my grandma and I. Our ferry was delayed and ended up arriving later than we agreed. We were greeted kindly by Marla and then she showed us around the house. We had the top floor of the house for ourselves, nice clean bedroom, great washroom and nice living room. We were her first airbnb's but we would have never noticed. Everything was nice and tidy. Upon arrival Marla gave us a bunch of brochures with local activities and events. Thanks Marla

Bianca2016-08-03T00:00:00Z

Marla is a very warm and welcoming host. Her place is as advertised. Very clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful time.

Amber2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

Really enjoyed our stay with Marla. She was easy going, very accommodating, quick to reply to our correspondence and she had coffee ready for us every morning! Life saver for my husband!

Linda2016-09-06T00:00:00Z

The home is lovely and immaculate. It is quite new, peaceful and located very near the ocean. We especially liked the host, Marla. She was warm and kind, inviting us to treat her home as our own. We liked her goofy, ultra mellow dog, Chunk. We hope to stay with them again. I recommend that you get clear instructions from the host on directions to the house because it is located on a very short side street that (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps doesn't know.

"Thanks so much for sharing your beachhouse with us. We had an absolutely wonderful time. It truly is one of those special places. My mom really enjoyed being back on the Island, although we had a hard time taking ourselves away from Bayside to do anything. None of us wanted to leave! You have created the perfect beachhouse ambience. Loved the decor and discovering your special touches throughout the house! We will tell all our friends and family about it and hope that we can return soon!"

We travelled to The Bayside Beach House with another couple and really enjoyed our stay. The location is great and the house was stocked with everything you would need and more. Much thought was put into making this place a cozy and comfortable getaway. We would definitely come back!

Lisa2017-05-13T00:00:00Z

This place is amazing!!!! As soon as my husband and I walked in the door we planned on coming back. It is so beautiful and cozy. You instantly feel at home. The views are spectacular and it is so peaceful and relaxing. The Bayside Beach House has everything you need from cooking to laundry to board games to grilling to darts to hot tubing, it is incredibly perfect. The little market up the street is great and there are wonderful hikes, bike rides and kayaking just a short drive away. There are little wineries and distilleries nearby to go through, cute towns and great shops nearby, anything and everything is at your finger tips. This is a great central location and it is easy to get over to the west coast or down south or up north. I loved Union Bay and I loved The Bayside Beach House. If you are looking for a perfectly relaxing magical place to stay whether you are just a honeymooning couple like we were or a larger group or family, this is the place to stay!

When you find a hidden gem like the Bayside Beach House, you are hesitant to share your discovery, but this was simply too good not to share! As the owner of a vacation rental company and fellow Airbnb Host, my critical eye follows me wherever I travel - and it was extremely challenging to find any faults with Bayside. Upon entering through the charming rustic gate, the most stunning panoramic views of the bay, shore and mountains beyond greet you. A path of stairs leads you down to the entrance of the home, enclosed by a wonderful sun porch. The home is thoughtfully outfitted, from the well stocked kitchen to firewood, books, DVD’s, and even bathrobes - which were the BEST for going from the main house to the hot tub! The Master Suite featured what I think was one of the most comfortable beds I have slept on in recent memory, including mine at home! Our days at Bayside began and ended with a luxurious soak in the hot tub, filled with much relaxation, nature watching and reading in-between. We were even fortunate enough to see the resident Bald Eagle - a true delight! With the multiple decks and sitting areas, it was great to take advantage of the views from each of these outdoor spaces. Should you travel away from the “compound” as we referred to it, the nearby towns have everything you would need, groceries, liquor and dining - however, our time away from the house was brief and we chose to dine in each night. The gas barbecue was perfect for grilling and the cafe style table on the sun porch was perfect for the two us - it was private waterfront dining - perfection! Bayside is a truly exceptional, charming and well cared for home - I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a respite from hectic everyday life! We will be returning, without a doubt!

Christopher2017-05-19T00:00:00Z

Bayside Beach House is exactly what we expected and it was fantastic. Beds are very comfortable, lots of windows, beautiful view. The kitchen is very well stocked. Robin was extremely responsive in her communications. All in all a terrific spot that we hope to visit again.

This Bowser haven, lovingly built by Paul and Laura, features 3 bedrooms, an ocean view living room, open concept kitchen, its very own climbing wall and a path to the beach. We believe you will find it a warm, magical and adventurous spot to stay.

This space is beautifully situated and built to make the most of this stunning coastline. The views are ample and awe-inspiring. The house is built by Paul and Laura and we live in a little cottage on the beach when we rent out the house so we are usually nearby to answer any questions.

Bowser is an incredibly friendly neighbourhood. It has a fantastic coastline and a good assortment of all the basic amenities and a few lovely extras! There is a grocery store, bank, cafe, library, liquor store, post office, pet supply and feed shop (which also sells locally grown farm eggs), fuel, gym, massage therapist, acupuncturist, hair dresser and the renowned Salish Sea Market that houses one of the finest collections of local artists on the west coast. And if you can't find what you need here, Qualicum Beach is only 20 minutes south along the coastal road, and the larger town of Courtenay is only 30 minutes north. There is the incredible ski hill of Mount Washington, and hiking trails in Strathcona Park only 45 minutes away. Access to Hornby Island and Denman Island is only 15 minutes away. In this area you really can ski one day and kayak the next.

This is a beautiful house, light spacious and very comfortable. Nice homely touches and beautiful outside space with direct access to the beach, we wished we booked for longer.

Lucie2017-08-16T00:00:00Z

What an amazing house is this! It was even better than expected. It has lots of room, charm, all kitchen stuff you need, a nice garden, beach acces (if you can walk some stairs) a perfect sea (URL HIDDEN) a matter of fact.... It has it all! Paul an Laura are very nice hosts and we made a great climb on the side of the house guided by Paul. Highly recommended!! Browser is centrally located whichakes ot a good spot for daytrips on Vancouver Island

Laura made us feel very welcome and showed us around the house which was very wam and homey. It was exceptionally well equipped with touches that reminded me of my own home. The walk down and up the stairs was good excercise and the beach walks so nice with the views of the Gulf Islands that we didn't feel the need to go anywhere else.

Claire2016-12-31T00:00:00Z

Fantastic stay! Great for kids/families. Hosts were friendly and responsive. The property is large with many areas to enjoy. The waterfront was quiet and fun for kids. The location is central for exploring the island. The cottage is comfortable and the beds were very comfortable. I'd recommend :)
